blah....

in npassword try this password:
blubird1.

does it work for you?  i'm not sure if I have to configure my
npassword... but it appears that the checks for numbers, case and
punctuation.. was done before a truncation (even if there is a
truncation) ... so it's still possible to pick piss-poor passwords.
